2) Was shocked that Dallas was never able to put pressure on Sam Bradford in the middle of the pocket. The majority of their rush came wide and that allowed Bradford to come forward to make some clutch throws. I thought that maybe a second-half adjustment would be to try to attack him more with the inside blitz, but that idea might have gone out the window when Sean Lee went out of the game.

Big problem with the gameplan and defensive scheme. I do not know why or how they thought that it was a good idea, but they refused to run any stunts or inside pressure to rattle him at all. Which is borderline insane with how many crossing routes they run. They made no effort to close any passing lines in the middle.

Stunned that we couldn't take advantage of a patchwork Eagles OL.

David Irving has really looked impressive.
Maybe Crawford can give some of that money he stole to Irving since a practice squad player has outshines him in a fraction of the opportunities.

It seems like whenever the DL has a favorable match up they never take advantage of it.

Hardy's only sack came in a stunt they finally ran. I noticed at one point, they shifted Hardy to the middle against the RT where he was doubled and Irving rushed in Hardy's DE spot.

Irving forced a bad play.

Hardy was moved to the other end.

But a lot of this came too late and Chip Kelly abusing is by constantly moving the pocket and making our DL play horizontally. And our Interior line gets no push.

RM played the pass and we got abused up front when Chip Kelly stuck with the run.

You could spread that to other areas of the team. Someone could line up a quadriplegic opposite Dez Bryant and they would not bother to acknowledge it.

I think our coaching staff is one of the most stubborn and shiftless in the league. They believe so heavily in their "philosophies" that it stunts any creativity or adjustments.
